Lynne Tebo | Nov 20, 2019

Thinking of Christmas? Think Nativity, which refers to scenes or creches displayed at Christmas, depicting the birth of Jesus Christ. "Kick off your Christmas Season" by visiting the ninth annual “101 Nativities Exhibition” at Cole Lake Free Methodist Church, 20 White Lake Rd., off Rd. #38, on Friday, Nov. 22, 2019 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm and Sat. & Sun. Nov. 23 & 24 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm.

 The Nativity exhibition will include over 250 nativity displays from all over the world, made of metal, wood, glass, ceramic or plastic. Nativities that children can handle and play with will also be on display. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. Each child will be given an opportunity to make a nativity craft to take home. .

 The Nativity Exhibition has become a tradition at Cole Lake Free Methodist Church and this is it's ninth year. The exhibition is one way we celebrate and spread the good news of the birth of Jesus Christ.. "101 Nativities" has grown in several ways since that first Nativity Exhibition in 2011.The number of nativities on display has grown from 101 to over 250, the number of church and community members participating in the organization of the event has grown, and the number of persons attending the exhibition has also grown significantly.

 Ladies from the church and community have contributed to the exhibition by bringing their nativities to the church for display, and have contributed their time and talents in the setup of the nativity exhibition, along with their time during the event.  Our church family is truly thankful for the support over the years.

 We encourage everyone to get together with your family and friends and come to the ninth annual nativity exhibition to begin your Christmas season by celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. This is not just a story from the past as Jesus is alive today and is there to give the gift of eternal life, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."John 3:16. Jesus is our hope for an eternal life and a life that is meaningful and abundant. This Christmas welcome Christ into your life and let Him give you peace!
